Lifeline Canada

Our record for bringing refugees to Canada from Syria is shameful. 2500 Syrians have been settled in Canada.

The Liberal government promised to change the rules for refugee claimants to be approved for resettlement,and to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada by Jan 1. These refugees will need support and they will need sponsors. Lifeline Syria is working in the Greater Toronto Area to build our capacity to sponsor, welcome and support these refugees, and working with groups across Canada to provide material and expertise to help them to start their own initiatives.

More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we’ve always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all. But media isn’t free to produce. rabble’s total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our only supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help.

If everyone who visits rabble and likes it chipped in a couple of dollars per month, our future would be much more secure and we could do much more: like the things our readers tell us they want to see more of: more staff reporters and more work to complete the upgrade of our website.

We’re asking if you could make a donation, right now, to set rabble on solid footing in 2017.
